The Bellagio Hotel
Las Vegas, NV
This photo was taken using a 1.3 Megapixel Sony Cybershot.  The ISO was set at 200 and the exposure time was 1 second.  Not bad for a little camera.  The early Sony’s did not have a lot of megapixels compared to today’s cameras but they had very nice lenses.

I Want It!
Downtown Disney Shops
Walt Disney World, FL
This photo was also taken using a Canon Powershot SD600.  The ISO was set at 800 and the exposure time was 1 second.  This was one of those moments where I was lucky enought to get the camera out and set before I lost the opportunity.  To me, the reflection makes the shot and the lighting tells the story.
Golden Gate
San Francisco, CA
This photo was also taken using a Canon Powershot SD450.  The ISO was set at 100 with minimal exposure on this sunny  blue-sky day.  I was in a moving car at the time with the sunroof open.  Totally a lucky shot.

Main Street USA Christmas
Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World, FL
This photo was  taken using a Canon Powershot SD600.  The ISO was set at 50 and the exposure time was 3 seconds.Using a low ISO and a very slow shutter makes the colors pop and the lights glow in this photo.  The blurs of motion of the people make the peoplke stading still really stand out.  Especially the guy on the phone…DUDE!, your are at Disney!  Get off the phone and enjoy it!
Cinderella Castle Christmas
Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World, FL
This photo was also taken using a Canon Powershot SD600.  The ISO was set at 50 and the exposure time was 3 seconds.The reason the castle is the only super overexposed element here is the fact that it had thousands of christmas lights covering its entire surface.   When I took the photo, the sky was black to my eye.  The rock in the photo is located by the bridge to Tomorrowland and was used as the mounting lcoation for the three second exposure.

Spaceship Earth
EPCOT

This photo was  taken using a Canon Powershot SD600.  The ISO was set at 800 and the exposure time was around 1 second (I used auto exposure here).I took this photo by pointing the camera almost straight up on a seating bench and triggering the shutter.  I seldom use a tripod and like to find objects around me to act as a mount for the camera.

This photo was  taken using a Canon Powershot SD600.  The ISO was set at 800 and the exposure time was set for auto.I love taking photos of fireworks.  If I am lucky, 1% of them turn out good.  This one is not the best but it has a really fun color quality and I liked.
